A look at how prognosticators from around the country view the Week 1 games.
Double D, Boston Herald: Mississippi State, with a veteran offensive line and upgraded defense, is favored by 21 points over Memphis. This one is easy. Take the Bulldogs and give the points.
Mike Hlas, Cedar Rapids Gazette: Hlastradamus, the seer, soothsayer and purveyor of sad and moldering strangeness is back. Nebraska is laying 38 against Western Kentucky, but covering that should not be a problem.
John Tamanaha, NBC Sports: A tough opener for Arizona, which is favored by 12.5 at Toledo. Take the Rockets and the points.
Brett McMurphy, FanHouse: He starts with an imaginary $5,000 bankroll. His first investment is Southern Methodist, getting 14, at Texas Tech.
Doug Segrest, Birmingham News: You just can't beat the SEC. Vanderbilt, playing at home, is going to surprise Northwestern, 24-22.
Lenn Robbins, New York Post: The Pigskin Profit started 2-2 on opening night, but big things are ahead for him Saturday, including North Carolina over Louisiana State.
Tony Barnhart, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The return of the Fearless Friday Forecast. He picked North Carolina to beat LSU a month ago, but the NCAA investigation of several Tar Heel players has changed his opinion. The Tigers win by seven.
Jon Wilner, College Hotline: Washington and UCLA are getting points on the road. Don't miss this chance. Take the Huskies and Bruins.
Chuck Carlton, Dallas Morning News: Is Boise State feeling the pressure? Monday's game against Virginia Tech might be the most important in Bronco history. That's why the Hokies are going to win.
Heisman Pundit: They won't be happy in Ann Arbor. Michigan is going to lose to Connecticut, 24-20.
